5/9/2023 0 Comments The maze runner graphic novel![]() ![]() ![]() No one can ever tell me that they aren't real. We are like a family, and these characters are our brothers and sisters. It honestly and truly brings tears to my eyes, quite often, when I think of what The Maze Runner world has become, and how much all of you mean to me. But this bit from Dashner's intro still rings very true. ![]() Well, actually that's not entirely true, it serves its purpose just as much, but I guess there was just less to fill in between movies 2&3 (please note that, although this is supposed to be a "prelude to", I read this after watching the last movie), than there was before movie 2, so I didn't have the same feeling of fulfillment that the other gave me. Not as good as The Scorch Trials Graphic Novel Prelude. ![]()

5/9/2023 0 Comments Capital volume i![]() ![]() ![]() 'Capitol' UsageĬapitol comes from the Latin Capitolium, the name of the temple of Jupiter at Rome on the Capitoline hill. We are happy to report that there is a simple way of telling them apart. Both words are often used in reference to government, and the physical location of one of these is typically found within the other, so this confusion is understandable. Things get a bit trickier when there is overlap between similar words, which is why so many people find themselves flummoxed by capitol and capital. The former may be a verb (meaning “to agree”) or a noun (“an act of agreeing”), while the latter is only found as a noun, and has meanings such as “climb,” “an upward slope,” and “progress.” In many cases the risk of mixing the words up is lessened if they have semantic differences, as is the case with assent and ascent. ![]() ![]() When one is presented with a pair of words that are similar in appearance, the chance for confusion is always high.
